Application April 4, 1934, Serial No. 719,025

2 Claims.

' and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-

Figure 1 is a front view of the improved tie.

Figure 2 is a rear view thereof.

Figure 3 is a rear view, showing the loop member in lowered position Figure 4 is a view of the loop member.

In this drawing, the numeral 1 indicates a substantially T-shaped member having its lower end rolled to form the tubular part 2 and the numeral 3 indicates the necktie which is knotted about the member 1 and covers all parts thereof, excepting the extremities of the head of the T-shaped part, these extremities 1' being adapted to be placed under the ends of a collar. An elongated loop-shaped member 4, formed of wire or the like and having a certain amount of resiliency, is passed through the tubular part 2, the upper end of the member 4 forming a small loop 4' for engaging a collar button or the top button of a shirt which is provided with an attached collar. The lower end of the member 4 has the ends of its limbs'fastened together, as shown at 5, and a piece 6 of the same material from which the tie is made has its upper end fastened to this lower end of the member 4.

Thus it will be seen that by pushing the member 4 upwardly in the tubular part 2, the small upper loop 4 will be projected above the knot so that this part can be placed over a collar button or the top button of a shirt and then by grasping the piece 6 and pulling downwardly thereupon, the member 4 will slide through the tubular part 2 to the position shown in Figure 3, so that the tie will be raised and placed in proper position on the shirt, with the wings I under the ends of the collar.

It will, of course, be understood that as the long loop part of the member 4 passes through the member 2, the limbs thereof will be pressed toward each other so that the member 4 will be held in either raised or lowered position. The drawing shows the major parts of the material from which the necktie is formed, having its upper end looped over the top of the T-shaped member with the side parts of said upper portion partly encircling the lower portion of the T-shaped member, the parts being sewn together as shown in Figure 3.

Then a short band 3 of the necktie material is passed around the lower part of the T-shaped member and the necktie material covering the same with the ends of the strip sewn together as shown in Figure 2.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. In combination with a necktie having a knot portion, a substantially T-shaped member around which the knot is formed, with its upper ends projecting from the knot, the lower end of the T-shaped part being bent into tubular form, an

elongated loop member passing through the tubular part, with its upper end adapted to engage a collar button, and a part of the necktie being connected to the lower end of the loop member. 2. In combination with a necktie having a knot portion, a substantially T-shaped member around said loop member being bent intermediate its end to form a small upper loop part and a long lower loop part.
